Peru and Venezuela meet on the final day with both sides in danger of elimination from Group B and with Venezuela desperately in need of a win to secure their progression.
Hosts Brazil have secured first place with 9 points while Colombia, who have played one game extra, are currently in second with at least the fourth and final qualification spot gauranteed on goal difference.
Colombia on 4 points are just ahead of Peru, also on 4 points, followed by Ecuador and Venezuela who both have 2 points.
A draw would be enough for Peru to progress but Venezuela know they have to play for the win. There is a chance a single point would be enough but this would depend upon Ecuador losing to Brazil and with so much in the balance, nothing can be left to chance.
Peru bounced back from an opening day 4-0 defeat to Brazil with a 2-1 win against Colombia before coming back from behind to draw 2-2 with Ecuador.
